UNITED. STATES PATENT OFFICEa LUCIEN GERVAIS GODET, OF VINCENNES, FRANCE.

DECANTER FOR COOLING LIQUIDS.

' SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 544,219, dated August 6, 1895. Application led February 20, 1895. Serial No. 539,112. (No model.) Patented in France May 2'7, 1890, No. 205,895.

To all whom t may concern:

B e it known that I, LUCIEN GERVAIS GODET, engineer, a citizen of the Republic of France,

'residing at 49 Rue de Lagny, in Vincennes,

Seine, France, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Decanters for Containing Refrlgerated Beverages, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent of France, No.

205,895, dated May 27, 1890;) and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the said invention.

My invention relates to an improved decanter for refrigerated beverages; and it con' sists in the construction and combination of parts, as lhereinafter claimed.

In order that my improvement may b'e clearly understood and readily carried into effect, I will proceed to describe the same in detail in reference to the accompanying drawing, showing my improved decanter, the plug at the bottom for enabling the introduction of ice not being in section.

The decanter is composed of an ordinary main body fr, which is preferably made of glass, but which might also be made of porcelain, metal, or other suitable material. To the base of the decanter is cemented a ring s, made preferably of tin, having a central screw-threaded boss t, into which is screwed a metallic plug u, the conical part o of which lits tightly into the corresponding conical bearing w, formed in the boss t of the ring. For further safety, the end of the screwthreaded portion u can abut at w against a second bearing or conical seat formed in the boss Into the annular groove formed by the boss t and the ring s ts the lower end of an ice-casing or other ice-vessel which is closed at the top. A liquid-tight joint between the base of the main body r, ring s, and

lower end of the vessel :c is secured by cement y or otherwise. 'Ihe cement for so uniting the isolating vessel :c to the main body r is a compound, which should not be subject to changes, both under the action of intense cold orunder the influence of a heat at, say, 120D centigrad e.

In using my improved deeanter, the plug u is unscrewed, the vessel .fr is filled with ice,

either in lumps or in a molded block of suitable shape, after which the plug u is put into place again and screwed home. The conical portions o andw being pressed firmly against each other, the ice-vessel becomes liquid-tight, and the jug can then be filled, as usual, with water or other beverage to be cooled for consumption.

It will be readily understood that by the means hereinbefore described while the ice retains its refrigerating power any ad mixture thereof with the liquid to be consumed is avoided. Furthermore, great economy is gained in the consumption of ice, since it can be preserved longer, owing to its being inclosed and free from the contact of air.

I claim- A decanter for refrigerated beverages, consisting of a beverage vessel o, an independent vice-vessel by which contact with the beverage to be refrigerated is avoided, a ring s for connecting the two vessels r and x, a jointforming material y between r and w, and a plug u screwed into the ring s, substantially as described and shown.

In testimony7 whereof I have hereunto af- Xed my signature in the presence of4 two subscribing witnesses.

LUOIEN GERVAIS GODET.
